  • "If you habitually take two or more bathroom trips a night, you probably have obstructive sleep apnea," says Alex Chediak, M.D., medical director of the Miami Sleep Disorders Center.

  • But why does it wake you up to pee? Because those mini-suffocations result in lower circulating oxygen levels, your heart pumps harder, raising your blood pressure. As excess fluid builds up in your veins, a feedback loop triggers the release of a pressure-relieving diuretic, making you need to pee.

    Being an insomniac, I'm always glad to find out new info about sleep issues. I used to take sleeping pills, but they are not a valid long-term treatment for insomnia or other sleep disorders.
